• A. He quickly caught the book, before it fell to the floor.
• B. He caught the book before it fell to the floor and he was very quick.
• C. The book almost fell to the floor, but he caught it before it fell.
• D. He was quick to catch the book so that it didn't fall to the floor.

Answer 1

The correct option is A He quickly caught the book, before it fell to the floor.

Since the sentences indicate a time sequence of actions, an adverb of time must be used. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not use adverb of time, so incorrect.
